Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 691
The old prince ran forward in disbelief, stopped the pair of officers and soldiers, and told them to put the body down.

Seeing that it was the old prince, the officers and soldiers did not dare to disobey, and put down all the wooden boards they were carrying.

The old prince looked at the man, then at the woman, and finally at the child lying in the woman's arms. They were all breathless.

"What, what's going on?" the old prince asked angrily.

Seeing this situation, the deputy commander of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing ran over, saluted the old prince first, and then explained: "They died of a sudden epidemic."

"In the afternoon, they were obviously fine, how could they get the disease!" The old prince didn't believe it.

Deputy Commander Chang explained: "The epidemic in Shannian Camp is very fierce and urgent. It can kill people in an hour or two, and it can't be saved."

The old prince checked the bodies of the three members of the family one by one. They all had livid faces, but no scars could be seen. They really seemed to have died of a sudden illness.

The old prince sighed heavily. He asked the family of three to come back, not wanting them to suffer from sudden illness.

"They came back from outside this afternoon, but have they had a full meal?"

Deputy Commander Chang replied: "I got porridge and steamed buns."

The old prince wiped his face, at least he ate a full meal before he died, so that he wouldn't be a starving ghost.

"How to deal with this corpse?"

"The disease is contagious, and the corpse must be incinerated."

The old prince waved his hand and asked the officers and soldiers to carry the corpse away.Although he felt uncomfortable, the disease could not be cured overnight.

He looked towards the porridge shed and saw a few people running back from the outside. These people were obviously very hungry, so they picked up the steamed buns in the basket and started to eat.

The person serving the rice served rice porridge, and another person stuffed a steamed bun, urging them to eat inside.

Sparsely, many people who escaped came back.

The old prince got on his horse again, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something, "How is this disease prevented?"

"The imperial hospital issued a prescription, and the imperial court prepared the medicine. If you get sick, you will take the medicine." The deputy commander replied.

The old prince thought for a while, and said, "It's better to separate the sick ones from the non-sick ones. After all, it's contagious... Hey, since it's contagious, you officers and soldiers have to dispose of the corpses. Could it be that no one is contagious?"

Deputy Commander Chang coughed dryly and said, "We... none of us are infected."

The old prince glanced at the several officers and soldiers who carried away the corpse, and then at the guards outside. No one was wearing a veil for protection.

Could it be that this disease only recognizes people in the Shannian camp?

After the old prince left, Deputy Commander Chang wiped off his sweat, and then ran towards the tent in the distance.

"People are gone?"

"Return to Your Highness, the old prince has left."

Deputy Commander Chang raised his head, but saw the Fourth Highness Qin Shengrui leaning on the grand teacher's chair covered with a thick cashmere blanket, and yawned after listening to his words.

"This old thing is really annoying."

"Your Highness, why don't you go home and rest?"

"My Highness thinks so too, but there must be no accidents in this matter."

"Many fugitives have come back."

"Heh, this trick really works. These lowly slaves came back after smelling the smell of food."

Deputy Commander Chang lowered his head, hesitated for a long time, and asked, "Those who escaped deserved to die, but those old and weak women and children who stayed in the Shannian Camp..."

Qin Chengrui narrowed his eyes, "If they are all dead, Shengjing will be clean."

After finishing speaking, Qin Shengrui waved his hand, "Okay, go on and watch outside."

Deputy Commander Chang listened to the orders, although he didn't agree with Qin Shengrui's approach, he didn't dare to say anything.When he went out, he saw Jiang Yunying coming, and the maid behind her was carrying a food box.

After Vice Commander Chang saluted, the side concubine smiled at him gently, "Vice Commander Chang has worked hard, you have made great efforts this time, His Highness will definitely use you in the future."

"I dare not take credit for my humble job duties."

"Your Highness cherishes talents. Vice Commander Chang follows His Highness. Sooner or later, the adverb of Vice Commander will be removed."

Deputy Commander Chang suddenly thought that their commander suddenly fell ill at this critical moment, could it be because he refused to obey His Royal Highness?

After Jiang Yunying finished speaking, the maid took the food box in her hand and asked her to wait outside, and then went into the tent alone.

Seeing that Qin Shengrui was dozing off with his chin propped up, snoring one after another, a trace of disgust flashed in Jiang Yunying's eyes.

She stepped forward and called Qin Shengrui softly, seeing that he woke up, she put on a smile immediately.

"Your Highness is tired, your face is thin." Jiang Yunying said, put the food box on the table, and laid out the food inside, "I am worried that you can't eat well, so I asked the kitchen to make a few dishes that you like The dishes are specially brought to you."

Seeing Jiang Yunying's gentleness, Qin Shengrui pulled her into his arms and couldn't help but become lingering.

"Your Highness...Your Highness!" Jiang Yunying pushed Qin Shengrui hard, seeing his face darkened, she hurriedly pretended to be shy, took his hand and put it on her stomach, "The child misses his father too."

Qin Shengrui saw that Jiang Yunying's stomach was already swollen, and he really shouldn't act recklessly, so he felt a little disappointed at the moment.He withdrew his hand, pushed Jiang Yunying aside, then picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.

Jiang Yunying was pushed by him, and her stomach almost hit the corner of the table, she couldn't help but glare at Qin Shengrui secretly in shock.Seeing him wolfing down, without any signs of eating, I was even more disgusted.

"Give me a bowl of soup." Qin Shengrui opened his mouth to speak, and the rice flew out together.

Jiang Yunying suppressed her disgust, stepped forward to fill a bowl of soup, and put it in front of Qin Shengrui, "Your Highness, be careful."

"Ah."

Jiang Yunying sat down at the side, and glanced out, "Your Highness, the Shannian camp must not be rushed. A few or a dozen people die a day. It is presumed that they died of an epidemic. No one doubts it. But if you die all at once Dozens of them will die in a few days, and it is inevitable that there will be trouble."

"You are a woman, don't interrupt me."

"Your Highness..."

"Okay, it's so long-winded!"

Jiang Yunying let out a deep breath, it really made sense that the mud couldn't support the wall.Even if it is supported by force, sooner or later it will fall to the ground.

With this poisonous trick, the person who made the trick hid behind while he rushed forward. If something happened, he would naturally be the one to take the blame.

"Your Highness, even if you are a father and son, or a brother, sometimes you have to guard against that..."

Before Jiang Yunying finished speaking, a soldier came in and reported: "Your Highness, the people below made a mistake and distributed a pot of poisonous porridge to the people inside."

Qin Chengrui looked up at the officer and soldier, and cursed: "Trash!"

Jiang Yunying couldn't help but interjected: "Can it be saved? Don't let them eat it or ask a doctor..."

Qin Shengrui slapped his chopsticks on the table, "Shut up!"

"Your Highness, this matter cannot be ignored..."

"roll!"

Jiang Yunying also wanted to persuade Qin Shengrui to be careful, but it was obvious that his face darkened, so he could only keep his mouth shut and walk out.

When she was about to leave the house, she heard Qin Shengrui say: "Dozens of people died, and they were all going to die anyway, not less than two days later, and they will be thrown into the fire pit tomorrow morning."
